eJuice Review 222: Banana Bread by V-Juice (VAPR Australia)

Ive heard a lot of good things about VAPR, mainly on social media, but where else do you go for information these days!

They are a husband and wife team that run a vape store located indoors at the Laverton Market Place, located at 8/18 Leakes Road, Laverton, Melbourne.

They stock a great range of hardware as well as re-building supplies in store and on their website.

Their juice range is also quite good, offering several other popular brands of eliquid as well as their new brand V-Juice. They’re promising, no added sweeteners, or other nasties and say this on their website…”this line has been painstakingly created to provide true complex flavour profiles to please the fussiest palates”.

I don’t know about you folks but they’ve got my attention, let’s take a look at their new juice line, “V-Juice”.

Today I’ll be reviewing “Banana Bread”!

From the website:

A traditional warm and fluffy, full flavoured banana bread with a hint of nuts and vanilla. Better than a blue ribbon loaf!

The Review:

Here’s a flavour that you’ll find in most juice vendor’s repertoires, it’s a staple mix that is a great seller, and is a juice that you just can’t get wrong.

“Banana Bread” is a realistic stewed banana with subtle notes of vanilla and nut on a lovely sweet bakery base.

I must admit, the bakery notes are quite light here in my regular setup. Higher wattage brings them out more, so do note that you will get the full flavour with a higher wattage, warmer vape.

Having said that, the bakery note is great, it’s a nice sweet biscuit type of flavour that really hits it’s stride with the but creating a crunchy biscuity base.

The banana is a realistic banana flesh, almost a warm stewed banana that is fluffy, and full bodied, with a bit of creaminess to it.

The hints of vanilla and but really make this flavour. They’re light additions, but nuances that add a little complexity and that extra layer of flavour.

On the inhale the banana is the main note, joined with a little vanilla, and a touch of but. It’s quite a simple and tasty mix at this point.

The exhale sees the flavour intensify, the banana becomes richer, the vanilla and but become more pronounced and really shine as the bread or bakery notes start coming through.

The bready flavour works really nicely with the vanilla and nut, creating a very layered mix that is sweet, full bodied and a fantastic base for the banana to adhere to.

This is a staple flavour done exceptionally well. It won’t disappoint!

Colour:

Honey tint

Scent:

Banana

Coil damage:

No noticeable damage

PG/VG Ratio:

30PG/70VG

Texture:

Full bodied thick texture

Steeping:

Steeping is a good idea to help all of the notes smooth out and blend nicely.

Presentation:

Some really nice presentation here, I received 30ml unicorn bottles, ready to vape.

The bottles feel great quality, smooth to squeeze with no nozzles popping off. The bottles are clear with squirt tips and child proof caps.

One thing I’m loving about these is the inserts inside the caps are all different colours. It’s a small thing but a very nice touch.

The labels are a nice satin black with their neon style V-Juice logo, a short one liner about ingredients, their website and checkboxes along the bottom for different bottle sizes.

Test rigs:

O-Atty RDA with single SS coil @ 0.2 ohms on a bottom feed mechanical mod.
